Need help coding a limit criteria
And where is the code so far ?
Code is a bit of a mess at the moment. I have defined a bar that signals a change in market direction but need this to only be effective when n=4 bars have passed from the order.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- extern double buystoploss =0; //SL for a buy open order extern double buytakeprofit =??; //ТР for a buy opened order extern int buycount =0; //Number of buy market orders placed within 24 hours extern int sellcount =0; //Number of sell market orders placed within 24 hours //+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ int start() { int spinningtop = 33, //percentage parameter of spinning candle top currentorder = OrdersTotal(); //total number of open market orders double totalcandlelength = MathAbs((iHigh("EURUSD",PERIOD_M1,1))-((iLow("EURUSD",PERIOD_M1,1)))), //total length of a single individual candle candlelength = MathAbs((iOpen("EURUSD",PERIOD_M1,1))-((iClose("EURUSD",PERIOD_M1,1)))), //length of open and close position of each candle price = Ask; //Price of market entry bool spinningtoprule = false; // 33% rule for opening an order //+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ if (currentorder<1 && (((candlelength/totalcandlelength)*100) <= spinningtop)) //Limit market order at any time to n=1 & implement 33% rule { spinningtoprule = true; OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,1,Ask,10,buystoploss,buytakeprofit,NULL,0,0,clrGreen); buycount++; Alert("Buy Order No.",buycount," Price=",price); } return; }
int barcount=0; datetime time;
if(time!=iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,0)) { barcount++; time=iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,0); } if(barcount==4) { // Do Something... barcount=0; }
Thank you very much. Worked a treat!

Hi,
I'm trying to code for a limit criteria to close an order, however the criteria needs only to be relevant when the 4th bars appears following a marker order. I would like to code to assess the characteristics of all bars (already have coded this), subsequent to the 4th bar of an order. I am struggling how to code this so any help would be greatly appreciated
